mitch41 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 She is standing by Levein. She is not interested in the Hearts support. She is telling the Hearts support we don’t count. Well if she is slapping the fans in the face she deserves all criticism she gets. I believe she just doesn’t understand what the fans attitude to this unbelievable interview and the consequences it could have for our club.

David McCaig Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Now, now it's only 5 games apparently!! Not 11 months with the least points in the League. Not 1 win in 17 league matches. Not 3 points out of 36. Just 5 games... Stop being so knee-jerk!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 That’s it for me. If the board are behind Levein then the people representing FOH are not fit for purpose. As far as AB is concerned she could not be more wrong. This decision and the use of supporters money to get recruits to look after a Ladies team is not strategic thinking to improve HMFC, it’s politically correct madness.

Alec Eiffel Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 "In short, our Board remains behind the Manager, his coaching staff and his team… not because he is “untouchable”, not because he is “all-powerful”, and not because we are “weak”, as has been suggested. We remain behind him because we believe in the plan we have jointly put together. We will continue to scrutinise our on-field performances and should we feel our plans are going astray and our approach needs to be adjusted, we will respond accordingly." Buckle up folks, we are in for a bumpy ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton3 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Unfortunately, it's only reducing income streams that will exercise the mind. The reliance on the Hearts support's love of the Club is a blunt tool used by owners and managers, alike. An atttitude that deserves a really good kicking.

Kiwidoug Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 She's right about the injuries but completely ignored the utterly dire performances week in and week out.

Sagan Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 No mention of why she thinks we get so many injuries, that must just be bad luck then. No criticism of Levein whatsoever, nothing about training methods, tactics etc. It seems she's just throwing money at the problem. Every year Levein will get a new squad bought for him and every year he'll fail, Or as Ann sees it, do a very good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyes open Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 If the plan goes astray we will look at it , Lol.. really how far astray does it have to go ! Genuine fans really, surely the 15000 average who turn up regardless to watch absolute dross for the last 3 seasons can be counted as genuine and it,s those genuine fans who are totally fed up being treated as cash cows . We bought in a squad this year to cover for injuries really ,that's why half our team are youngsters and old men at the end of their careers.. and we are bottom of the league.. Appalling statement , Levein (sorry Craig ) can do no wrong ... Sorry but even after all she's done it doesn't wash anymore . we are being treated with contempt...
